My Torque 3D Game

Survival Strike has been in development for a while now, although it has only just been over the past year that development has really taken shape to the point where I am satisfied that I can say (This is starting to look good!). Since my last blogs on the game, the artwork pipeline has pretty much been revamped, additional gameplay, more custom weapons have been added and with Torque 3D 1.2 being the most stable release yet - I'm really pleased with the results. Kudos to GG and the direction they are taking Torque - a welcomed move.

Survival Strike is moving towards a playable state, covering things like conspiracy theories - Egypt with ancient aliens and bases on the Mars, and of course Zombies! There will be some interaction with other planetary races (NPCs) that may become playable characters with first person armatures and their own set of weapons - depending on how well the crowd funding goes. Currently there are 8 playable Zones - 6 on Earth and 1 on Mars with Single and Multi-player mission objectives, with more being added within a timeline.

I've included a few teaser shots below that were taken about a month ago, however I plan on showing more of my game, once the KickStarter campaign starts in the UK very soon, and then replace some of the art with our own IP.

2D GUI HUD Creator is evolving - tools and extra features are being added to make GUI and HUD artwork creation so much easier, and dynamic.

That's it for now.
